PODCAST 073: Greg Aukerman, Microchurches, & Stairstepping Back to Buildings
Well, we're going back into the building. Or at least a small percentage of us are. Many, though, are opting to take a slower approach heading back into the space. Is there a different approach?
Churches like Saddleback and Elevation have been experimenting with Micro-locations for a while now, and this week we're having a conversation with another church who has been doing micro-church for almost five years now.
Greg Aukerman has served as the Director of Online Community for Crossroads Church (Cincinnati) off and on for a while now, and on his watch Crossroads built a rather effective micro-church strategy, enabling the Priesthood of All Believers to effectively reach their towns and neighborhood.
How can these lessons be leveraged in this COVID-19 season? That's the question we're asking, here on The Church Digital Podcast.

- Who are the people in your church who would be capable of leading a micro-church movement temporarily?
